'Controversy Remains Over Shoplifting Prevention Technology'
Debate Over Retailers' Use of AI Continues
to Make the Media Rounds
According to
NBC News, a Japanese startup called Vaak is using artificial intelligence
software to help retailers ferret out shoplifters before they leave the store
...
and perhaps even before they grab the goods.
The "Vaakeye" technology is designed to work with a standard surveillance system
to help identify behaviors that may constitute "suspicious activity." Vaak CEO
Ryo Tanaka told NBC that this could include facial expressions, gestures, and
movements - even clothing choices. If someone sets off an internal alert, the
idea is for the store to dispatch personnel for a quick check-in.
And while Vaak says its tech reduced shoplifting incidents by 77% in tests, the
idea of using technology to solve the problem is not without controversy. Sven
Dietrich, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, told NBC that
these kinds of deep learning algorithms are only as good as the data used to
train them and "might be extracting a certain bias."
Likewise, a recent report by
CNet suggests that systems that use facial recognition to ID shoplifters can
be inherently problematic, citing California-based video surveillance startup
Kogniz and its "multi-location" cloud system that can save the image of a
shoplifter and share it with other stores' locations.
According to the report, customers can then be flagged whether or not a crime
has been committed, and could even find themselves barred from transacting with
private businesses. Says CNet, "One mistake could mean never being able to
shop again."

Biometrics Institute launches Ethical Principles for Biometrics
to guide responsible industry behavior
The Biometrics Institute has launched a set of Ethical Principles for Biometrics
at its annual U.S. conference in Washington, D.C. to address the gaps left by
lagging legislation and regulation. Chief Executive Isabelle Moeller asked an
audience of 70 stakeholders from the biometrics community "Just because we can,
should we?"
The group identified seven principles to enable anyone working in the biometrics
industry to demonstrate a commitment to addressing the ethical issues raised by
new technology, and biometrics in particular. The
seven principles are: ethical behavior, meaning to avoid actions
which harm people and the environment beyond legal requirements; ownership of
the biometric and respect for individuals' personal data, including
recognition of partial ownership of biometric data by individuals; serving
humans, which entails accounting for public good, community safety and net
benefit to individuals; justice and accountability, which means accepting
principles of openness, independent oversight, accountability, and the right of
appeal and appropriate redress; promoting privacy-enhancing technology;
recognizing dignity of individuals and families; and equality,
which entails preventing discrimination or systemic bias.

Office Depot settles tech support scam FTC complaint, paying $25M in damages
Office Depot agreed yesterday to pay $25 million in a settlement with the US
Federal Trade Commission as part of a lawsuit accusing the company of
tricking customers into buying unneeded tech support services --akin to a
real-world version of online tech support scam sites.
Support.com, a PC health scanning service also named in the lawsuit, also agreed
to pay an additional $10 million, which the FTC said it would use to refund
impacted customers.
The "PC Health Check" fake scanner
At the heart of the FTC investigation was Office Depot's PC Health Check, a PC
diagnostics service that Office Depot was offering to run on computers brought
into stores by customers for routine checks and repairs.
The PC Health Check service required employees to ask customers four questions
about strange popups, slow operating speeds, virus and malware warnings, and PC
crashes or freezes.
The FTC says that checking any of the four options as part of Office Depot's PC
Health Check questionnaire would automatically trigger a positive malware scan
result. Office Depot employees would then step in to offer PC clean-up services
for $180 or higher.

2019 NRF LP Risk Survey data collection underway
Your responses benefit the entire retail LP industry
Deadline is Tomorrow
 This
year, NRF is taking a new approach to learning about the current retail risks
that professionals like you work hard on mitigating every day. We've revamped
our research strategy to only ask you to take one survey a year, instead of
two. The goal of the survey is to touch on all topics that matter to you,
from shrink to ORC to cybersecurity initiatives etc. We will still create two
separate survey reports, the 2019 NRSS released in June at NRF PROTECT 19, and
the ORC Report in November as in the past. This is one of the critical requests
that we make of our LP and AP colleagues for the good of the industry and thank
you in advance for your participation. Please join your retail Loss
Prevention and Asset Protection colleagues by participating in the 2019 Risk
Survey by Friday March 29th. We have
attached a PDF copy of the survey for your convenience, the link to take the
survey is below.
Three reasons to contribute:
1. Your participation is important: Without you, we're missing an important
piece of the retail industry. This data has proven to be an invaluable
benchmarking tool to the retail community and law enforcement partners for many
years. Your answers will be completely anonymous and analyzed in combination
with other responses - your participation ensures benchmarks are representative
of the retail industry.
2. It's easy: The survey should take only 20 minutes to complete.
3. What's in it for you: In addition to receiving benchmarking data
specific to the retail industry, if you complete the survey in full, we'll
send you a $10 Starbucks gift card as a thank you.
Here's the link to the 2019 LP Risk Survey:

McDonald's halts lobbying against minimum wage hikes
Fast-food giant McDonald's boosted congressional Democrats' efforts to hike the
minimum wage Tuesday by telling the National Restaurant Association that it will
no longer participate in lobby efforts against minimum-wage hikes at the
federal, state or local level.
"We believe increases should be phased in and that all industries should be
treated the same way," Genna Gent, McDonald's vice president of government
relations, wrote in the letter. "The conversation about wages is an important
one; it's one we wish to advance, not impede."
McDonald's' dramatic shift on the issue comes after the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce signaled it would be willing to negotiate over raising the hourly
minimum, which for a decade has been stuck at $7.25. "We're going to
listen," Chamber President Tom Donohue told reporters in January.

How Many McDonald's Workers Will Be Pushed Out by Technology?
Could
McD's $300M tech acquisition mean 'very large layoffs'?
McDonald's Corp. just bought a tech company that can change store menus based on
the weather, what customers might add to menu items they already have selected
and what people are more likely to order in the morning or in the night. It
spent $300 million to buy this firm, called Dynamic Yield. This technology
gets added to order-taking machines in many McDonald's locations, and it means
very large layoffs are inevitably coming.
McDonald's is no different from any other fast-food chain, drug store retailer
or mall-based store. Most of these operate on small margins. Employee costs are
high, even though most retail workers are poorly paid. Despite the low pay, the
more layoffs the better, as long as stores can deal with current foot traffic.
And, in many cases, the death of brick-and-mortar retailers means that they need
even fewer people, who can be replaced by technology.
Retailers CVS Health Corp. and Walmart Inc. already have self-checkout at a
number of their stores, which allows them to replace cashiers. Altogether,
the total figure of retail employees who can be replaced by these systems will
rise into the tens of thousands.

Walgreens follows CVS' lead - selling CBD products in 1,500 stores
Walgreens will sell CBD creams, patches and sprays in nearly 1,500 stores in
select states, the company told CNBC on Wednesday. The drugstore chain will sell
the cannabis-based products in Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Vermont, South Carolina, Illinois and Indiana. Walgreens declined to
specify which brands it would carry.
Rival drugstore chain CVS introduced CBD-containing topicals, including creams
and salves, to stores in eight states
earlier in March. As the non-psychoactive cannabis compound becomes one of
the hottest ingredients in consumer products, retailers are carefully evaluating
the market.

information is actually valuable. Information does not need to be secret to be
valuable. Information sourced from blogs, market places and social media can
provide an endless supply of information which contribute to our understanding
of a situation or may provide detail for an investigation. Our experienced
Intelligence Analysts research and gather information from e-commerce
communities, classifieds, social networks, Dark Web and criminal data to
identify persons suspected of being involved in ORC theft.

Vendor Risk: The Second-Class Citizen of Cybersecurity
Attacks originating from insecure vendors and other third parties generate more
than half of reported breaches, yet most companies under-address that source of
vulnerability.
Target's breach in 2013 via an insecure HVAC vendor popularized the notion
that
a company is only as secure as its weakest link.
The incident was a catalyst for the development of the vendor risk management (VRM)
programs in place today. However, other factors also drive the need for VRM.
For one, data privacy regulations require companies to carefully track sensitive
data entrusted to vendors and carry huge penalties for non-compliance.
Companies also have a natural motivation to hold their vendors more accountable
for maintaining proper security standards. Rationalizing a vendor community can
result in lower costs and better terms and conditions.
No two vendor risk management programs are alike.
Read more on the factors to consider in assessing the maturity of a VRM
program:

Can Retailers Trust Their Third-Party Vendors?
Third parties, which vary in their ability to safeguard against bad actors, may
simply not be equipped to prevent sensitive company information from being
stolen or compromised. Cyberattacks aren't limited to specific stores or even
regions. Global networks are now regularly subject to cyber threats, and
cyberattacks are also not singular to online retailers.
 Brick-and-mortar stores are susceptible to physical threats like card skimmers
and social engineering scams while connected devices are vulnerable to malware
and hacking, potentially leaving company and customer payment information in the
hands of cybercriminals.
In recent years, multiple high-profile retail data breaches have involved
third-party vendors. Past cyberattacks targeted retailers' third-party operator
of its chat services, accessing customers' names, addresses, credit card
numbers, security codes and expiration dates.

Guilty by association: The reality of online retail third-party data leaks
The risks involved with online retail, for both brands and consumers, have never
been greater. According to Trustwave's 2018 Global Security Report, the retail
industry suffered more data breach incidents in 2017 than any other
sector as attackers become more organized and targeted with their efforts.
Furthermore, the retail industry is
notorious for poor application security,
ranking 17th of 18 measured sectors by the 2018 Retail Cybersecurity Report.
Poor application security is particularly concerning for online retailers as
their
website ecosystems are littered with a myriad of third and fourth-party services
to enhance the customer experience and drive increased brand engagement. These
services include everything from live chat and custom fonts to product reviews
and gifting apps. These same engagement boosters, however, can do more harm than
good if hackers can exploit partners' poor security standards or vulnerabilities
within their solutions.

medical samples from about half an hour to just over three minutes.
It is the first revenue-generating drone delivery in the US, Bala Ganesh, the
vice president of the Advanced Technology Group at UPS, told Business Insider.
UPS is part of a public-private US Department of Transportation drone-testing
program started last spring. Amazon, which has made highly publicized moves into
drone testing, was not included in the program.

Guilty by association: The reality of online
retail third-party data leaks
According to
Trustwave's 2018 Global Security Report, the retail industry suffered more
data breach incidents in 2017 than any other sector as attackers become more
organized and targeted with their efforts. Furthermore, the retail industry is
notorious for poor application security, ranking 17th of 18 measured sectors by
the 2018 Retail Cybersecurity Report.
Poor application security is particularly concerning for online retailers as
their website ecosystems are littered with a myriad of third and fourth-party
services to enhance the customer experience and drive increased brand
engagement. These services include everything from live chat and custom fonts to
product reviews and gifting apps. These same engagement boosters, however, can
do more harm than good if hackers can exploit partners' poor security standards
or vulnerabilities within their solutions.
Once an initial leak and the scope of the problem has been identified, and
impacted parties have been alerted, retailers also must continuously monitor the
situation to ensure further leaks don't ensue and must instill processes to
alert them if additional sensitive information is exposed to outside services.
Yet, to get ahead of the situation and stop trouble before it starts, there are
several steps retailers can proactively take. First, retailers should
meticulously audit and evaluate all third-party applications, as well as any
additional services they rely on before they are officially implemented. This
rigorous assessment procedure allows brands to gain the visibility needed to
fully understand the different entry points attackers could attempt to penetrate
and utilize leaked credit card information for malicious activity. In addition,
auditing can help them answer important questions related to faulty lines
of code and potential loopholes hackers could try to take advantage of.
In addition to auditing prior to implementation, acquiring a detailed
snapshot of all the third-party services currently operating within a
retailer's website ecosystems is greatly beneficial. This simple punch list
improves overall performance and helps security staff ensure that proper
patching is completed and malicious code modifications can be detected and
eliminated as quickly as possible.

Jersey City, NJ: 23 charged in multi-million dollar shoplifting ring
Walgreens, CVS, Duane Reade, and Ulta among chains targeted
 Police
in New Jersey said 23 people were charged in a multi-million dollar shoplifting
ring. Officials said a year-long investigation revealed that shoplifters would
steal items from retailers costing them millions of dollars. It targeted large
chains, including Walgreens, CVS, Duane Reade, and Ulta Beauty.
Those items were then sold online for full price to unsuspecting shoppers.
Law enforcement described the ring as a "sophisticated operation." The operation
originally started with hundreds of thousands of dollars in Jersey City, and
that snowballed into millions of dollars in organized retail theft,
spanning all the way out to Suffolk County, Long Island.
 Police
identified the ringleader as Stephan Williams, of Jersey City. The organization
also employed a financier, drivers, cashiers, and individual shoplifters. Police
said Williams or other high-ranking targets would find individuals and show them
a catalog of items, such as over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and
beauty supplies. The drivers would load up a car of five to 10
shoplifters and drop them off at retail locations throughout New Jersey and New
York.
Those shoplifters were then tasks to steal items from the catalog and were paid
for each item shoplifted. The items were then broken down, brought to a stock
room on Bidwell Avenue in Jersey City, and sold on eBay. At least seven counties
in New Jersey were targeted, as well as Queens, Nassau County, and Suffolk
County.

this (expletive)." Police said he ran out of the store with three iPhones and
two other devices worth $3,900 in his arms. The Lake County prosecutor's office
named 24-year-old Christopher L. Williams and 22-year-old Antonio K. Williams,

February of last year, the 33-year-old was arrested in connection to an armed
robbery at a T-Mobile store in Tempe. Baker and two others were accused of
holding employees at gunpoint and stealing more than $18,000 in cell phones.
Baker pleaded with police that he was innocent, even though one of the victims
had identified him as one of the bandits. He spent 69 days in jail - unable to
afford to post bond.

Sentencings
Knoxville, TN: Crips gang member convicted of
pistol-whipping Dollar General employee
In a two-day trial, assistant district attorneys explained to the jury that on
June 8, 2017, Griffin entered the Dollar General on McCalla Avenue brandishing a
handgun and demanding money. While the clerk was attempting to open the cash
drawer, Griffin bludgeoned the victim numerous times with the pistol before
leaving with the entire cash drawer. The DA's office said Griffin has eight
prior felony convictions for aggravated robbery, robbery, aggravated assault,
theft, evading arrest and unlawful possession of a weapon. Judge Scott Green set
the case for sentencing on May 3 where Griffin faces 40 to 60 years in prison
without the possibility of parole.

The difference between success and failure is in the planning and the execution.
Taking something from a thought or idea to a reality can be a long and painful
process lined with failures and detractors. But a great idea is only as good as
the plan you have to bring it to life and the execution everyone delivers to
give it a life. Because without the two the great idea never existed. As one "C"
level executive once told me- He never saw a bad great idea as it was always the
failed plan to roll it out and the poor execution that killed it.
Just a Thought,
Gus
